About Escaping the Prison

Escaping the Prison is the second Henry Stickmin game, the series that made choose-your-own-disaster comedy into an art form. You're in a cell, and the game offers you options — a file, a teleporter, a rocket launcher — most of which fail spectacularly and entertainingly.

Failing is the point. The joke is in the animation of each disaster, and the game expects you to try everything before finding one of the three actual endings.
